Big Rigs Talk about other Cummins powered vehicles here. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even have to be Cummins, but it will be diesel! :)

Click on "manage attachments" toward the bottom of the post edit page, and you can pick them off your computer from there...

With the newer Cummins engines for the pickups, techinally yes. You got as close to or as much power on some, and more on a few. Certainly quite a bit more than the older ones had.

Only thing lacking is tranmission and maximum weight capacity of the pickup.
